How fast do you read?
Apparently the natural average is 300 words per minute.

There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.
I aint no abacus but you can count on me.

35% slower than National's average.
Perhaps I would've done this quicker and if I didn't stop to go back and read some words twice.

568 words per minute, but I read that book not too long ago so I kinda knew what I was reading.
I can't believe how fast the speed reading champion is O_o

You can't lose hope when it's hopeless.
You gotta hope more,

"Blah blah blah blah!"

I always thought I was quite a slow reader, which I am in comparison to most of you guys.

I'm not religious so I'd never read it but this made me laugh so much:
If you maintained this reading speed, you could read

Does depend which extract you get though! Some books I find very hard to read and have to concentrate to read them, others I can skim through really fast!
